Homeopathic treatment for vertigo

Homeopathy can effectively treat any kind of vertigo. Vertigo is a feeling of imbalance in space. The patient loses balance when walking, they have the impression that everything revolves around them or that they revolve around everything.

Vertigo can be accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Vertigo with a feeling of rotation relates to problems in the inner ear.

We must differentiate them from feelings of instability and unrest linked to emotional or circulatory problems that may improve with homeopathy.

Vertigo can be peripheral if the labyrinth of the middle ear is affected or it may be central if it affects the cranial nerve or brain nuclei, Meniere’s disease, due to cervical osteoarthritis, or post-traumatic vertigo.

Vertigo is a symptom that requires a clinical examination and a study to determine its origin.

The cause of the vertigo can be varied: unknown, infections of the middle or inner ear, due to head trauma, medication, lack of blood supply, viruses, or tumours of the acoustic nerve.
